There is one primary issue that matters in all of western politics, and that is putting an end to mass immigration.

それは本当に
日本の国立国会図書館のように、全ての文化的資産が永久に保存される仕組みは必要だと思いますわ
Glen@glen_calz
@magozone23 A museum or even a digital archive of games and media you can play for free or a price would be nice. Like the library of Alexandria, except for games and media that are eternally preserved for future generations. I hope this can happen one day

@migakiseiten You asked if abandonware was really abandoned. I was simply answering that. I apologize if some nuance was lost in translation. I appreciate your patience in this discussion throughout the day.

@theflammifer 知っています。
そして、私は言っています。｢日本では、それを隠れてこっそりやる｣。
二度目の説明が必要ですか？
最初に言ったはずです。｢分かり合えない｣と。
貴方と同じ説明を、貴方以外の人がしていないとでも？

海賊版でプレイするのにもっともらしい言い訳をする連中とは一生分かり合えないという事を再認識できた。

@CSharpDad @MrLeadslinger Absolutely, it's quite affordable here in Texas.
English
@theflammifer @MrLeadslinger Sounds about right.. but steak is expensive on the west coast USA. I am guessing proximity to the plains plays a factor. 😀
English
Hey Japan, roughly how much would it cost to get a sushi plate like this there?
Cost here is equivalent to 4,765 yen.

@IkenoYuki The problem is we keep changing the name of the room with the toilet because it is impolite, and then the new word becomes impolite eventually and we have to find another new one.

アメリカ人が日本のバスルームについて教えて欲しいと言ってきたので答えた。『日本人にとってバスルームはバスのための部屋であってトイレのための部屋ではない』と。もうこの時点から全くわかってもらえなかったので両者の溝は深い。

@NAITOTokihiro This is unfortunately probably true. It reminds me of the era where video game companies made their games obnoxiously difficult so that they could not be beaten in a weekend rental.
English
@pero_okumura @NeoNusso The automatic translation made a mistake. It made it look like he said there are 4 times as many pirates as legitimate users on Steam itself. Rather, the pirates are not on Steam. That is the confusion.

@NeoNusso 証拠を突き付けてもまだ外人どもがぬっそさんを嘘つき呼ばわりして攻撃している。。。
なんかもう、終わってるな、外人😩

Steamという入手性の高いプラットフォームで販売しても、販売数の4倍ほどの海賊版ユーザーがいるよ。売っているんだから、うちの製品を海賊版で使うのをやめろ。

@migakiseiten There's also a lot of those old games where it's not clear who the legal rights even belong to, and it's not worth it to any of the potential owners to try to fight over it in court, so they stay lost forever.
English
@migakiseiten As for our "abandonware", the term started because of those games from the 1980s-1990s where most games were just made by one or two people. They moved on with their lives after, and often went into a non-games career. So those games really were "abandoned".
English
@migakiseiten I am not familiar with those two stories, sorry. I tried to follow the thread about the Garage story but it seems the original post was deleted, so I am not clear on what happened.
English
@NeoNusso The translation is suggesting that you say there are 4 times as many pirates as real users on Steam, rather than that the pirates are 4 times the Steam users. This is why you are getting such confused replies from English speakers.

We were naturalizing 1,000,000 people every year with a 95% approval rate?
Every day there's some new statistic about our immigration system that is absolutely mind boggling
America First Insight@AF_Insight
The USCIS has successfully pushed naturalizations down over 60% from their peak. Going from an average of 70-80k monthly down to about 30k.
English
@migakiseiten Maybe I should have mentioned this earlier. There is a concept in the western world called "abandonware". Have you heard this term, or do you have an equivalent in Japanese?
English
@migakiseiten This is why I am trying to make the point that "preserving" a game is not the same as "pirating" it. If the indie game stops being available, someone who has it will find a way to make it be available again.
English
@migakiseiten Indeed. Some of the hostile behavior from American companies is due to our own laws.
English
@migakiseiten To keep that sort of system around would require Japanese companies to cooperate with Western fans in such matters. I don't suppose that is likely, but maybe things can change. Cover Corp, for example, has figured out a way by giving a clear explanation on their English website.
English
@migakiseiten For what it's worth, it's very much frowned upon here to pirate indie games or works made by small creators. Even the kind of person who pirates a game made by a big corporation released last week will look down on someone who does that.
English
@migakiseiten Okay, I believe I understand what you mean. We do have our own version of that culture in the indie games space, but it does not exist with corporate things because of the way American corporations behave.
English
@23skiddsy @digging7 Let's not complicate this discussion further, OK? It's already messed up enough with the NieR fan server being conflated with piracy.
English
@theflammifer @digging7 There's also romhacking, which is transformative work creating a new game from other assets and should be considered a form of art itself.
English
一見すると全く理解出来ない価値観だけど、リプ欄引用欄を見るとなんとなく理解出来てきた。
つまり、企業が作家を搾取していると捉えているから、海賊版は企業にダメージが行く読者視聴者によるささやかな抵抗、という認識なんですね。
その手段は作家にダメージが行くという事を想定してない訳だ。
Lunchbox🐔💋@fishin4l0ve
Theres the whole like japanese perspective on media piracy argument going on, and the one thing i keep seeing is "but do you not realize that pirating harms the company?" and I dont think alot of them realize in the west we LOVE seeing companies get harmed, even ones we like
日本語
@migakiseiten By blocked, in case the translation messes up, I do not mean like a SNS block, but a legal "cease and desist" form.
English
@migakiseiten Essentially, if a person in America tries to do a fan project of any kind the way you do it in Japan, he will be blocked by the company after contacting them. So the strategy became to develop in secret and then loudly release to the whole world when finished.
